I have to build another light box (my dogs ate the cardboard box I built). So here's a crappy cell pic of a dart I turned this week.
I learned that the short tubes can only be stuffed with 8g of lead wool. Jon suggested trying lead fishing weights, packed in the wool. I'll give it a try. These were maxed out at 18g; I prefer 22g in mine.
Stabilized and dyed buckeye burl (that I got from Jon). 10 coats of CA, sanded through MM twice, Plastx polish.
Does anybody here turn them? Any hints or tips or advice? I hope to/plan on selling them.
